As long as you don’t play louder than a television would or that if you make some more noise it’s not for a very long period of time, why would they complain? Everybody make some noise at home depending on how many kids they have. I can tell you for sure our kids make 10 times more noises than my guitar does, so if someone would complain, that person is for sure a music hater and not really bothered by the guitar sounds, at the volume level I usually play. And that’s why I don’t care at all about that. My baby doesn’t even wake up at the volumes I play and he sleeps in the same room as my rig is.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏻♂️
I got a crate gt212 120w combo and a crate gx900h 90w head and am trying to run both distortions at the same time, now I know I need a pedal/switch to utilize both of the amps effects. I know what I'm getting on Friday lol
Say what you will about tube amps solid state as far as built-in distortion goes to bands don't have s*** on solid state there is a reason they started building solid state LOL now for cleans absolutely tube all the way I want to have a hybrid with my distortion on a souped-up channel and my cleanse on a normal tube maybe a little bit of chorus and reverb
I too was able to get great times out of a Marshall MG head... I think it gets shit on by 1) people who have never owned one and are just parroting others, especially on internet forums, and 2) people who got a combo with a 6" speaker and expect it to sound like a full stack JCM800.
"tones", not "times"... stupid autocorrect in my phone. Oh, and 3) people watching others on UA-cam doing 10-0-10 with an amp's bass-mid-treble controls(or doing it themselves).
Yeah you're right. I played on with a 4x12 and it was just fine. It was less finicky is what I noticed right off the bat. Then I noticed how many more tones I could dial in compared to my single channel class A rigs.
I love the DFX amps also. I have the 50 watt single 12 combo, now with a Celestion Vintage 30 in the cab.I also have a 250MG-DFX. Two 12" speakers, true stereo, 50 watts a side. Really nice spatial delay and reverb. I agree, I don't know why they get so much bad press. I can't tell you how many people ask me if they are valve amps. Great sound at lower volumes, plenty of decibels when the house is empty. I use an ABY.
@@hutch3d Please could you make a video showing the FULL setup of How to do this? Also would you be able to show me how to also keep the use of the Effects loops on both amps as I'd love to truly get a stereo Chorus, reverb and delay through the Loops. I also Have The iD 100TVP-H and hope to add a Blackstar HT50 MKII Head and cab to my arsenal in the future and build an Ultimate Blackstar Stereo rig of Badassery.
Nice one Dave 9:17 onwards very cool and yes it does teach us what is possible I always wonder how you and others can play that in your home and that the neighbours don't complain ,hoping to move next year so I can expand :-) great sound thanks Dave always look forward to your Videos
The hdfx is a very versatile amp! It sounds great in the video but I bought one for death metal and the amp does high gain insanely good for the price.
Great video Dave, I love your channel, always something good to watch / listen to. I've got the Marshall MG 100 HDFX head too, bought a mint one crazy cheap with the MG 4x12 cab, then swapped out the stock MG speakers for 3 used Celestion G12T-75's and a 150w Celestion Sidewinder (taken out of a Marshall Reverb 75 1980's SS Amp and replaced with a G12T-75). The cab sounds awesome, better with the Sidewinder than it did with 4 G12T-75's. Like you, I don't understand why the MG100 Heads get a bad rap, they sound fabulous if you get the tones set right (turn that treble down). The MG is my most played amp by far, use it a lot more than my tube amp.
Totes agree on the MG series words man, they are awesome bang for buck, and they really don't sound bad. The MG100DFX combo is a pocket rocket, giggable, compact, hard wearing. AWESOME playing as always.
Cheers dude thanks for the inspiration I'm gonna try my stuff out... I'm gonna try using a guitar amp and bass together with my theramin Your amps sound really great together, one doesn't need to spend a fortune on splitter box etc
Sweet Strat and nice playing dude. I love stereo set-ups. Those are nice fat tones. IMHO it works best when the two amps have quite different characteristics. Typically, a Fender/"American" amp with a Marshall/Vox/"British" amp, or good models thereof. I also really like only driving one side, typically the British side, and keeping the American side cleanish. You can have really raunchy overdrives without losing any attack definition. Either way stereo is epic for ambient tones as you show, cheers
Would this same setup work with the speakers wired in an x? I'm more interested in playing a clean sound over a dirty, and would think that the x would result in a more balanced tone
I love your sound, and your enthusiasm! Great lesson. I have that same Marshall, and I have a bit of a rough time trying to get it to sound rich and full. Did you keep the other settings the same, except max out reverb on the Marshall? I noticed you did show the settings in the earlier part of the video. Thank you!
Couldn't decide which of the two new (used) amps I bought (Blackstar HT-5 and the HT-5R Mkii) so I use them together via an ABY pedal and they sound awesome.
Ha! I happen to run a very similar setup. I got an Orange Rockerverb MK1 and a Marshal DSL. They run on 2 different cabs (one with V30s and one with Custom Speakers) and I use a TC Electronics Mimiq at the end of my signal chain. It kills any noise you get from phasing etc. and it fattens up rythm playing by quite a bit if you dial it properly. I definitely recommend it for bands with 1 guitarist that want massive sounding guitars.
so okay... I have been searching hard to figure my question out. I am trying to do this similar thing, but I don't want to run into the front end of the amps because I enjoy the sounds I get pretty naturally out of my floor pod plus so I am running the pedals through my micro terror dark fx recieve. my question after all that is, is it getting any tube "sound" or warmth from the tubes or is it just powering the signal through the cab
CE-5 ne of the best chorus pedals out there. I'm saying the best :) I owned one once, along with DD-6 whch was as well fantastic, but I was stupid enough to sell it. Really great units.
I'm very curious as to how you modified your 4x12 cabinet in order to make this work. I am trying to do the same thing with my EVH 5150III 50-watt and my Orange Dual Dark 50 watt. I currently have an Orange 4x12 cab, and would ideally like to modify it so I can run both simultaneously. The 4x12 is just a pain to gig with so have also been considering buying two 2x12 (or even 2 1X12s) and just designating each head to its own cab. As someone who mainly plays small clubs and bars, do you think modifying a 4x12 is worth the effort, or would 2 2x12 or 2 1x12 cabs be a smarter option?
You need two inputs on the cabinet. Check your amplifiers impedance requirements and wire two speakers to one jack and the other two to the other jack. Each amplifier will go to each pair of speakers. Now how you split your guitar signal into the amp is another story but that's how you do the cabinet.
Great sound! I would have thought that the Marshall would have been better handling the bottom end. As you did it the other way round, I'm sure you are right. Is the Orange really a darker sounding amp?
Please make a video on chords an how you use embellishments to make them sound better then a straight strummed chord if you can thanks again for your videos
Nice video Dave, i was going to connect up 2 Roland street cubes amps 50 watt, i purchased the Radial Bigshot bypass, i am pretty new to this, so, the lead from the guitar would go into input, an i would need 2 other guitar leads to go from the output A to 1 amp, and Output B to the other amp, would that be correct???
It’s easy to fix the hum, either make sure both amps are plugged into same strip or just put an adapter on one amp with a ground lift - so now there will be only one source of earth ground
Dave , I dig this. can we get a followup to this video with the same 2 amp setup and discuss how to handle effects like a 50% effects wet left amp and 50% effects wet right amp vs a left 100% wet effects amp and a no effects right amp.
Random question, when running both amps at the same time for stereo effect how would one practically channel switch in a live format using Footswitching from both of the amps clean tones to both of the amps dirty tones when needed? Is that why people use midi? Sorry if I sound like a nube
Just say you want to run it split so you can just go back and forth and you want to share a looper pedal and reverb through both amps effects loop. how do yo do that?
i recently bought an a/b box for my two heads, i only have one input on my cab the other is an output for another cab but only one head works because theres only one head actually connected to the cab. thoughts?
Great sound. You ever consider getting the big shot ABY pedal? A lot of times they will have a phase switch and ground lift. It will quiet the signal so you don't get that annoying buzz. Cool sound though man
Hi Dave! Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if it's safe to use a stereo pedal (like my stereo electric mistress) as a last pedal in pedalboard to split the signal between my mg100 & cr120 (both of them having their own 4x12 cabs)? Can something bad happen for the amps with time?
you have convinced me to give solid state a second chance. I owned a mg100 and a 100hdfx. they sounded flat and dull.. i think the speakers make all the difference..
Danny Rivers there is nothing wrong with SS amps, they can sound fat and great with the right player. And he is running in stereo because you have more tonal options that way and it is just fun to do
Do you reckon you could do this with 2 cr120's or would it not sound as good seeing as they are two of the same amps. I cant see why it wouldn't work but thought i would ask someone who would know better. Should i use 2 different amps if im running my rig stereo?
You could do this with 2 cr120s and i would think it would sound awesome. If your running stereo though you might want a different amp just for a different sound. But i would love to know what 2 CR's sound like running together. :)
Hy Dave, sorry if this question is a bother, but would this work with a 100 watt amp and a 20 watt head or would one ultimately be quieter than the other?
Nice demo Dave! Question tho... How do you switch channels from clean to dirty on both amps together using a footswitch? Just wondering how can i both turn them on together. Using a distortion would be an easy fixed but i prefer the amp's distortion Thank you in advance
I'm guessing you would need some kind of switching system to change both amps at the same time. Exactly what one though is a little beyond my understanding. Thank you very much for watching. :)
Oh my God, they sound so fucking good together it's not even funny! DAMN, I'm blown away by the thickness of those tones. Now I feel like dropping some cash on a CR120 as soon as I can to pair with my MG100DFX
and dave i have to ask..do you enjoy the hybrids w tube in pre driven by solid st.rec?? how about modeling..marshall codes are brilliant to me...if u like only full on analog ..have you checked out vox av..???
I do like hybrids yes. I would probabaly go for one of them over a ful valve amp if i had to. I used to own a Marshall VS which i loved. Great amp. I really want to give the Marshall code a go but being a skint musician it wont be happening any time soon. :( I haven't checked out the vox av yet no but i shall be demoing the vox VR very soon. Awesome amp. :)
Awesome! Who said you can't gig with Solid State and be too loud, valve snobs, that's who! Haha! Try putting the 2x12 Orange CR120C combo through a 4x12 cab, Dave! You'll love it, it's mega! :)
+Jackal Fox Exactly. I gig with the CR120 all the time and always get told to turn down. Haha. 6 seems to be the magic number on the CR for live work. I really need to try that so badly now. Thanks so much for watching. :)
You're very welcome! :) It just goes to show that Solid State has a firm place in the world, especially if it's Orange. It's well worth a try, loud, but worth it. If you do that, hope you can make a video of it. :D
i dont understand how you get the two cab heads running into the speaker. your using the pedal as a split to send the guitar signal into two heads, right? i could be confused. how do you get signals from both pedals into one speaker cab through one input? sorry for the question.
My cab can be split to stereo so i can run one head into 2 speakers and the other into the other 2 speakers. No need to be sorry for the question. Happy to answer. :)
so guitar split into two cables, a cable into each head, and then on the back of the speaker you put one head into the mono and one into stereo? or you get a dual quarter inch connector to single quarter inch output into stereo/mono?
Okay thanks for the reply. So I have a Marshall JCM 900 speaker cabinet and it has 2 inputs. The right says 4 ohm and the left says 16 ohm. On the sides of each it says 8 ohm right 8 ohm left. It has a mono/Stereo 150w/ch switch. Is this just saying that on mono its either 4 or 16 and on stereo its 8 and 8? Right now i have a Randall RT 100w tube head that has a 4 ohm out and 8 ohm out. I'm using the 8 ohm out from my amp into 16 ohm side on the cab. Is this correct? And if i had another head i can put them both on 8 ohm out and flip the stereo switch to give them both 8 ohms?
@Travis Bishop If the switch is on Mono, the speakers are in parallel if you plug in the 4 ohm jack and series/parallel if you plug in the 16 ohm jack. If the switch is in Stereo, you'll use both jacks and each one has a pair of speakers connected to it in parallel. If the switch is in Stereo and you use only one jack, you'll only run the vertical pair on that side of the cabinet. On your Randall, you'd be better off using the 4 ohm output impedance setting and running the Marshall cabinet mono and using the 4 ohm jack. If using another amp, use the 8 ohm output on the Randall, set the cabinet in Stereo and one 8 ohm jack and connect the other amp to the other 8 ohm jack.
You must have very understanding neighbours.
I very luckily do. :)
I think if I was his neighbour I would be hammering on his door - "for crying out loud - turn it UP Dave!"
Why’s that? It wasn’t even load actually kinda weak.

@@scottarnold6528 those amps with that cab are incredibly loud. It just doesn't come across over video.
I saw the setup and thought you were gonna riff out some sludge metal.
:)
The Cr120 is the best solid state amp out there right now I'm getting that soon and he gain kicks ass sounds like a tube
I got one because of him. Glorious, is all I can say.
I got a crate gt212 120w combo and a crate gx900h 90w head and am trying to run both distortions at the same time, now I know I need a pedal/switch to utilize both of the amps effects. I know what I'm getting on Friday lol

the great tones were probably great times also !
Sorry man,but they're not great sounding.You realize they're solid state,right?
Yeah you're right. I played on with a 4x12 and it was just fine. It was less finicky is what I noticed right off the bat. Then I noticed how many more tones I could dial in compared to my single channel class A rigs.
If I was living in my own house I wish my neighbors were deaf, I'd be the luckiest guitar player in the world
wow that's some straight up Buckethead tones In the end, awesome !
Thank you very much. :)
I leave my chorus pedal on the whole time for that big wide spread sound
you'll get some ground loop issues using a stereo pedal, to eliminate those use an ABY box with phase inverter and a ground lift
Thank you for the info. :)
I totally love the last song you played,it is really beautiful.Nice video!
Thank you very much. :)
lush playing at the end super chilled me out thanks and incredible tone !!!!
Thank you very much. :)
That is amazing bro. The splitting of tones is absolutely orgasmic
Thank you very much. :)
Hi Dave. Like your channel, verry inspirational. You are down to earth and a great player with a set of good ears for tone.

I know I'm hella late but this is a fantastic idea. Gonna do this and bust out some fucking sick Stoner Doom riffs :)

It’s easy to fix the hum, either make sure both amps are plugged into same strip or just put an adapter on one amp with a ground lift - so now there will be only one source of earth ground

that is a pretty magical tone with the 2 together ....BUT

That is true but then you not getting a true stereo setup.
Okay, thanks for letting me know, cheers! :D

Do you reckon you could do this with 2 cr120's or would it not sound as good seeing as they are two of the same amps. I cant see why it wouldn't work but thought i would ask someone who would know better. Should i use 2 different amps if im running my rig stereo?
You could do this with 2 cr120s and i would think it would sound awesome. If your running stereo though you might want a different amp just for a different sound. But i would love to know what 2 CR's sound like running together. :)
I get asbestos by just watching this.
However, I have two 412's how would I go about combining my to amps?
Hy Dave, sorry if this question is a bother, but would this work with a 100 watt amp and a 20 watt head or would one ultimately be quieter than the other?
i have the same Marshall and i Love the orange its sooooo butiful:-D
Thank you for watching. : )
I run two.. MG 100 FX ..And a JCM900..
That’s cool.
It seems you have a ground problem.
The same ground for the two amps?
I was hearing the same thing. I want to experiment doing the same thing but I don't want to blow anything up lol
Nice demo Dave! Question tho... How do you switch channels from clean to dirty on both amps together using a footswitch?
Just wondering how can i both turn them on together. Using a distortion would be an easy fixed but i prefer the amp's distortion
Thank you in advance
I'm guessing you would need some kind of switching system to change both amps at the same time. Exactly what one though is a little beyond my understanding. Thank you very much for watching. :)
Any issue on Phasing problem? Thank you
Epic sound Dave
+smiley42 Thanks very much. :)
what are the weird streaks of light that appear occasionally in the top right photo frame?
How do you connect this up at the back of the cab?
Oh my God, they sound so fucking good together it's not even funny! DAMN, I'm blown away by the thickness of those tones. Now I feel like dropping some cash on a CR120 as soon as I can to pair with my MG100DFX
Can I run two amps through my boss looper pedal or mxr chorus? The looper has 2 outputs and the chorus I think has a second line out
Awesome vid
was I hearing some Rory Gallagher inspirational licks their? you can definitely get the Rory sound with these two amps together.. ;)
Indeed. Rory's a big influence on me. :)
and dave i have to ask..do you enjoy the hybrids w tube in pre driven by solid st.rec?? how about modeling..marshall codes are brilliant to me...if u like only full on analog ..have you checked out vox av..???
I do like hybrids yes. I would probabaly go for one of them over a ful valve amp if i had to. I used to own a Marshall VS which i loved. Great amp. I really want to give the Marshall code a go but being a skint musician it wont be happening any time soon. :( I haven't checked out the vox av yet no but i shall be demoing the vox VR very soon. Awesome amp. :)
I have an MXR 10-band EQ with two outputs... can i use it the same way?
Awesome! Who said you can't gig with Solid State and be too loud, valve snobs, that's who! Haha! Try putting the 2x12 Orange CR120C combo through a 4x12 cab, Dave! You'll love it, it's mega! :)
+Jackal Fox Exactly. I gig with the CR120 all the time and always get told to turn down. Haha. 6 seems to be the magic number on the CR for live work. I really need to try that so badly now. Thanks so much for watching. :)
You're very welcome! :) It just goes to show that Solid State has a firm place in the world, especially if it's Orange. It's well worth a try, loud, but worth it. If you do that, hope you can make a video of it. :D
i dont understand how you get the two cab heads running into the speaker. your using the pedal as a split to send the guitar signal into two heads, right? i could be confused. how do you get signals from both pedals into one speaker cab through one input? sorry for the question.
My cab can be split to stereo so i can run one head into 2 speakers and the other into the other 2 speakers. No need to be sorry for the question. Happy to answer. :)
thank you! now i need to get more gear... it never ends lol
so guitar split into two cables, a cable into each head, and then on the back of the speaker you put one head into the mono and one into stereo? or you get a dual quarter inch connector to single quarter inch output into stereo/mono?
Hey Dave, I have a question. Does this work the same on the behringer delay/ reverb pedal which also has two outputs A and B. Thank you in advance :)
By the way your guitar skills are awesome!!
Thats should work yeps. Thank you very much indeed. :)
Stereo !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah !! :) :) :)
the pinky finger hardly got any love!
pretty cool
That was cool...
Thank you very much. :)
Can you please demo that lovely looking P Bass in the background sometime Dave? , I would love to hear you play a bass
I will see what i can do. :)
I'm a pretty poor bass player. :)
Glassy. 2 speaker cabs?
Awesome ...
+Matze R Thank you. :)
Dang! Can I Be Your Neighbor! 👍🎸🔊🎼 Most Awesome!
Thank you very much. :)
No matter how hard i try but even after fifteen years I still can't get behind strat sounds
it's probably just the single coils. check out some strats with humbuckers.
Agreed!
Does it matter which head is connected to the cab? or with your set up is there two inputs, one for either side?
There are two inputs on my cab. :)
Okay thanks for the reply.
So I have a Marshall JCM 900 speaker cabinet and it has 2 inputs. The right says 4 ohm and the left says 16 ohm. On the sides of each it says 8 ohm right 8 ohm left. It has a mono/Stereo 150w/ch switch. Is this just saying that on mono its either 4 or 16 and on stereo its 8 and 8?
Right now i have a Randall RT 100w tube head that has a 4 ohm out and 8 ohm out. I'm using the 8 ohm out from my amp into 16 ohm side on the cab. Is this correct? And if i had another head i can put them both on 8 ohm out and flip the stereo switch to give them both 8 ohms?
@Travis Bishop If the switch is on Mono, the speakers are in parallel if you plug in the 4 ohm jack and series/parallel if you plug in the 16 ohm jack. If the switch is in Stereo, you'll use both jacks and each one has a pair of speakers connected to it in parallel. If the switch is in Stereo and you use only one jack, you'll only run the vertical pair on that side of the cabinet.
On your Randall, you'd be better off using the 4 ohm output impedance setting and running the Marshall cabinet mono and using the 4 ohm jack. If using another amp, use the 8 ohm output on the Randall, set the cabinet in Stereo and one 8 ohm jack and connect the other amp to the other 8 ohm jack.
Did you mod the cab splitting the speakers or is this just the stereo option of some cabs?
Its just a stereo option on the JCM900 cabs. : )
